ONU Model United Nation competes in New York

The ONU Model UN Team travelled to New York for the National Model United Nations Team Competition last week. ONU’s team competed as Zimbabwe, which was a challenge, since that nation is under sanction by the international community. The students were escorted by Professor Andy Ludanyi and Professor Kofi Nsia-Pepra, both of the History Politics and Justice Department. During the event, delegates debated issues that included Child Soldiers, Nuclear Disarmament, Economic Development, and AIDS, among others. Professor Ludanyi commented that the members of ONU’s delegation did a fine job of representing their designated nation. Among other activities outside of the conference, the team had supper at an Ethiopian restaurant.
